Gluten free options, always get a plug!

Adam Chastain

The best Mediterranean I've ever had, hands down. All the food is made from scratch and they accommodate most, if not all, allergies with special attention to detail such as marking each individual plate of food placed on the table as gluten free or not. The owner is definitely essentric and a very clearly hands-on manager. He is thoroughly explaining he menu items, he proudly talks about the efforts he takes to ensure quality service and special attention to details and he is sincere in this endeavor. The staff all seem happy and absolutely efficient. Excellent communication amongst them to ensure the gluten free foods are clearly indicated. The place is well kept, very clean and calming. It's personal, comfortable and accommodating. The menu is clear and concise and I've not eaten one thing I disliked. Their garlic sauce, their hummus, their lemon rice soup, gyro, chicken, fries... All heavy hitters!

Gluten Free & Handicap Accessible Review: I've been to Leila multiple times & have always been very satisfied. Food: The food quality and preparation is exceptional. The menu is marked with gluten free indicators, making it easy for myself (and the kitchen) to order. I have not ordered one item I haven't been happy with- definitely recommend sampling multiple dishes off the mezze menu. Service: The service has been consistently good during my multiple visits. This last visit, I ate with a friend who utilizes a wheelchair for their mobility. I notified the restaurant when booking my reservation that we would need a handicap accessible table. Upon being taken to our table close to the doors, we noticed they already had the fourth chair of our table removed to make room for the wheelchair. We eat out all over metro Detroit and this is the first time the table has been properly prepared with the chair removed to make room for the wheelchair. Huge thank you to the team there for thinking ahead & making the seating experience seamless just by providing one simple accommodation. It may have seemed liked a small measure to the staff, but it was huge to our group. We will definitely be back!

The staff are so friendly and helpful! They have delicious gluten free pita! Note, the bowls are fairly large, but take-out boxes can be requested.

First review below is from January 27th 2024 3 stars The food is good. The chips and salsa are very good. My wife and daughter got the taco salad. There was very few toppings on them. I mean very little! If we ever go back, that will not be an option for either of them. I got the steak fajita, and it was pretty good, but not enough shells to eat your entire meal. My mother-in-law got a plain quesadilla. The booths are small, but the service is good. The price is a little bit high for what is relatively cheap ingredients. For the 4 of us it cost me about $84. plus tip. Note: they are very conscientious of celiac disease. Since my daughter has it, that would be the only time we would come back here again. It gives us somewhere local to go when she's in town if we don't feel like driving out somewhere. This review is for March 29th 2024 This visit was much better. I have moved my 3 stars to 4 stars. The food was good, proportions were generous and fhe wait staff was great, too. If I had one complaint, it would be that the salsa was very watery. Almost like dipping your chips in a can of tomato water. I'm not sure if it was the bottom of the barrel that day or what? Besides that, we will definitely be back.

Anita’s Kitchen has been a favorite gluten free restaurant. Today, however, i had an unsettling experience. Kevin, a new waiter, decided he was too overwhelmed to be my server. He ignored us went to a different table and took their order. I politely asked if he was our server, because he was taking care of every other table in the section, except for ours, he said he was not! I had to request a manger to take our order, the manager was great. He was kind and professional. If it were not for the manager, I would have walked out. Kevin, you missed out on a 30% tip

B Lipka

Excellent food options to choose from the menu. Great place for a bridal shower or a family gathering in the Lodge Room. A gluten free menu is available. The food was delicious and exceptionally good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was similar to a lodge in the mountains. The best part of eating here was the chef made the food to your dietary needs. Overall, I will return in the near future.

Abbey Freiburger

Cottage Inn is such an awesome place for people with gluten allergies such as myself and my son. It’s so rare to be able to go into a restaurant, sit down and have food that’s delicious as well as allergy friendly! It beats making dinner at home every night or frozen GF pizzas! We love coming here for the gluten free cheese bread, and specialty pizzas! The price is decent in comparison to other options in the area and the wait staff are great. Overall 10/10, we come here almost once a month!

kim vican

Hoda was the best waitress ever!!! The food was amazing!!! The best chicken Schwarma ever. I have a gluten allergy and Hoda made sure my meal was prepared perfectly!!! Lovely evening out!! We live 1.5 hours away from this restaurant and we would drive here anytime!!

Teddy Putrino

I have a gluten allergy and Lauren double checked to make sure I had both a gluten free pita, but also croutons removed from my salad. Safe & delicious lunch spot!!

Charlene Bartlett

We went for a ladies breakfast and they accommodated our table of 11 without issue. I had the red olive omelette with gluten-free toast and it was great! Apparently they have a lot of gluten-free options: pancakes, waffles, toast, pita bread. Other ladies had lunch salads and other breakfast entrees and everything looked delicious! Prices are very reasonable, portions are generous, and service was outstanding! Many of the ladies had special requests on their orders and everyone was accommodated! I will be back with my family!

James Games

The staff here is the nicest ever! I am gluten free and felt super accommodated and helped out by the worker in order to make sure my order was properly gluten free. If you let them know, they will use a separated cutting board to prepare your food and will use a separate fryer. Overall a great experience and delicious food and I couldn’t recommend this location more, especially if you are gluten free

Ally Riley

Me and my husband made a reservation here for our wedding anniversary. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This restaurant deserves all 5 stars more than any other restaurant I’ve ever been to. The waiter was very knowledgeable about gluten free and all of their options. He was very knowledgeable about the daily specials. He came and checked on us a perfect amount of times which is very hard to find in todays restaurant world. All the waitstaff were extremely patient the whole night. The atmosphere was relaxing and set off an amazing vibe. I highly recommend making a reservation for this place as they are always busy. The food was the best food me and my husband both had our whole trip. Our drinks were made perfectly and dessert was amazing. This restaurant deserves a pat on the back for their amazingness. If me and my husband are ever back in town again we will definitely be coming back.

Brandy Hodge

Good gluten free options for breakfast, lunch and dinner

Steven Schuitema

We went on a very busy day and the staff was amazing. We ended up sitting at the bar and enjoying a couple drinks while waiting for our food to arrive. My girlfriend is Celiac and the bartender did an amazing job of taking her order and reassuring her they knew how to keep her food gluten free. My shrimp and Alfredo was fantastic and my girlfriends food tasted good and she did not have a reaction.

Alexandra Passkiewicz

Cooked falafel perfect! I love how everything is ran by women here, they’re all lovely! Very fast service & fresh delish food. Falafel is gluten free here which is another reason why this will be my go to spot.

Christine

This was fresh and delicious… I’m gluten free so I didn’t eat the bread that comes with it, but it smelled amazing and my mom said it was. My bowl was delicious, I got steak and chicken and both were Yum! Will be back.

Jessica Crawford

Sara provided excellent customer service! Great gluten free meals.

Kaleigh Conly

Really good! Ordering gluten free was a little complex with cross referencing an allergy sheet, but possible. The sauces were delicious, and a bowl was flavorful and filling.

JuliAnne Diesch

Really fresh options for our family, with customized pita wraps and bowls to suit everyone's preferences. I had incorrectly assumed it was only pita-based wraps, but the bowl option (with several bases) makes it a possibility for those of us who need Gluten-Free options. Falafel protein is good for vegetarian. And there's a vat of the garlic spread we have come to know and love as a Mediterranean condiment (along with hummus and also tzatziki).

Nick Koons

I love Anita’s! Great service and great food. Our server was super attentive and kind. Love the food options - we often end up getting the same things because they’re always good. Highly recommend the baba ganoush, their pita sandwiches, and the chicken sandwich! Love the fries too, perfect seasoning. Love the vegan and gluten free options, and that the menu is fully labeled.

Megan Jones

Kristal (sorry if that isn’t how it’s spelled) is SO great!!! I have a severe gluten allergy and she is always so kind and cautious. I frequently pick to eat here because of her. She is always so pleasant and kind to staff when they ask her questions. The guy who was working tonight with her (12/28/24) even ran outside to give us some food we forgot to grab. Above and beyond! Food is always fresh, safe, and yummy!!!

Maddox Rowland

Great options for dietary restrictions! Their fries aren't gluten free, but I got a wonderful beyond burger with a vegan olive tapenade.

Jesse Locklear

Beautiful & clean restaurant with delicious food! The menu cleanly marks gluten-free options. We started with the meat frape leaves that were served warm and were very tasty. I got the lamb saute appetizer as my meal and it was delicious. My husband got the de-boned chicken.

Patrick Wiegand

Great salad, chicken parm my favorite. Restaurant has gluten free options. Would be 5 stars but no gluten free dessert

Tina Rudolph

First time to Petoskey for my husband and I . I’m glad we chose Palette Bistro for dinner. I got the palette salad and gluten free flat bread. Both very good! Our server was great too!

Jim Glidewell

Great service, good gluten free menu options, food was tasty

Sue Johnson

Went for lunch. Husband needs gluten free and they were able to provide for him. Lunch was great. Our waitress was fabulous and the manager even stopped by to make sure my husband was taken care of regarding his gluten free order. Will definitely recommend this restaurant.

Dennis Moore

I need to be gluten-free. This Leo's Coney Island used to have really incredible gluten-free hamburger rolls, which had sesame and poppy seed topping and they used to have a hamburger called The Fenton Burger. It was really good. You could get it with one patty or two. We moved out of the area last year but I was in the area and thought I'd have lunch there. I was very disappointed that they no longer have the Fenton Burger and no longer use that great GF bun. I wound up getting a swiss and mushroom burger, which was on a GF bun. The bun was just OK as was the burger, but certainly not worth making a special trip. Not all Leo's carry GF buns. This one still does, just not as good as it used to be. If you are in the area and don't need to be GF, I would recommend going to Mega Coney, which is less than a mile away. If you do need to be gluten-free, Leo's may be your best bet if you want traditional "Coney" food.

Duncan Gardner

Love this place and I am a celiac and I feel that they have the best GF communication I have ever came across! Thank you 😊

mikayla peterson

Oh yum! Ordered takeout and it was nothing but delicious! Friendly staff and I’ll definitely be going back :) I always wish that chicken shawarma was gluten-free but it’s no fault of the restaurant. It’d be great to see more gluten free options on the menu!

Daniel Harold

The food is delicious and fresh. The service is always great and friendly. For those needing gluten-free options, this is also a great restaurant option.

Amy Kilgren

If you're gluten-free like me, this place is a total gem! Almost everything on the menu is clearly marked as gluten-free, so you won’t have to worry about making tons of substitutions to enjoy a fantastic meal. The food is always delicious, and honestly, my only problem is eating too much because it’s just that good. The service is quick and friendly, and the overall experience is always satisfying. It’s perfect for lunch or dinner, whether you're with friends, family, or even picky eaters. There are great options for everyone, including kids and those who aren't as adventurous with new flavors. If you're gluten-free, you definitely won’t be disappointed!

Ersyla Nellajoy

The short take is hillarysa market and Cafe is a gem way out by Speedway on Maple and Miller. The long story is I wanted meat an thought a hamburger. But I'm gluten free so only certain places have been free buns etc. I knew Harissa was close to me so i went in bought three lovely lamb beef gluten-free meatballs on a bed of perfect saffron rice. as I enjoyed my meal I surrounded by beautiful handcrafted gift ideas and imported Delicacies. I think I might make this my regular Friday treat.

Kerry Black

Good food. Fast service. Plenty of gluten free options

Kelli Marie Monroe

Knowledgeable on Gluten Free options good customer service and great food

Dolly D

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and the gluten free options are allergy friendly which can’t be beat! Highly recommend.

Risa Renae Harman

Went here because my friend was looking for gluten free food options in the area. Mim's advertised that they had GF items on their menu. Arriving at the restaurant, pretty busy for Saturday afternoon, the menu said they could substitute spinach and/or rice instead of wraps as the GF option. The Owner/manager also spoke with us so we knew it was not GF kitchen (just in case of celiac issues). Appreciated him taking the time to inform us. She got chicken pesto over rice/spinach and I got chicken w tsaziki over spinach (little heavy on the Tsaziki) but good size portion and very tasty. Also tried a slice of vegan GF chocolate cake which was delicious. Sat on the deck. A lovely afternoon.

Joe Napoleon

Love the omelettes. Feta & spinach yum... They have gluten free items now...

Alexandra Walton (Lexi)

A friend and I were visiting from out of town and happened upon this place, and we were so glad we did! The service and atmosphere were amazing. Such a wonderful experience and the food was good too. The baba ghanoush was delicious and I really liked the cauliflower in the chicken biryani. Good vegetarian and gluten free options.

Gloria Osborne

Good gluten free options.

Bluejsong Reynolds

Our waitress was on point during our visit. She recognized I was ordering gluten-free options and came from the back to let me know, I might not want their standard rice. She then guided me to an appropriate option! She was the only waitress with a rather busy evening, but yet we never needed to ask for anything as she was on it. Decor and music set the mood nicely.

Marcia Sanecki

Best restaurant has wonderful food and is gluten friendly which I appreciate. There is a man who posted a negative review for this restaraunt, I happened to be eating at the time his complaint happened. When you walk up directly behind a waitress without saying excuse me and she turns around with a coffee pot in her hand don't be surprised if it touches you. Yelling and swinging your fanny pack around as you make your grand exit yelling you will be calling a lawyer is appalling. Then to return a few minutes later being rude to the owner threatening him with bad reviews on social media if he doesn't compensate you.. Makes it look like you did this on purpose.

Carol Piva

They've warm bread right out of the oven with delicious garlic dip. The lentil soup is a good option as a starter. Also, many vegetarian and gluten-free options.

Paul Willockx

They have an extensive gluten free menu and great salad choices alongside their normal menu. My wife is allergic to gluten so it is nice to have a place where she isn't forced to just eat one or two things.

Tracey King

Great food and really good service. We called ahead and our family of 9 was seated when we got there! I am gluten free and I had my own choices and enjoyed a great salad of my own and added chicken. They also had gluten free rotini noodles and the menu was marked with a 'g' for gluten free items which was really great. We had a wonderful time

Elicia P

The first time in and the staff member was great! He walked me through the steps of each topping. Options are really good as there is plenty. Protein options are plenty offering two types of vegetarian/vegan options. There is gluten free options. The food tasted really good and smelled amazing. Overall, I will definitely visit again. The pricepoint was comparable and worth it.

B Lipka

Absolutely love this place. They offer gluten, corn and dairy free options. The food is delicious and authentic. The vegetarian grape leaves and chicken kabobs are my favorite. The staff and owners are really nice and welcoming. I will return over and over ❤️

Samantha McGrandy

I have really enjoyed Pita Way ever since they first opened. The staff is very kind, helpful, and quick to welcome you when you come in. I can’t eat gluten, and finding quick places to eat that won’t make me feel sick can get hard, and I’ve never had any issues with that too! The food is always great as well, I’ve never been disappointed.
